The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 324

Frey, having previously cleaned this very venue, stepped into the 808 VIP box once more. As she took in the opulent gold decor and the jade countertop adorned with red wine, she felt momentarily disoriented.

"Ms. Manday, Ms. Frey, please make yourselves comfortable," Alexander said, gesturing to the plush sofa.

He settled in the center, with Frey and Mandy seated on the east side, while several senior executives from the Lloyd Group took their places on the opposite side.

Soon after, Della entered with a group of strikingly beautiful women, clearly the most glamorous of Red Shift's selection.

Frey felt a bit uneasy in this environment. Observing her discomfort, Alexander glanced in her direction before turning to Della.

"Please bring me a glass of hot milk."

Della, noting Frey’s presence, smiled understandingly and instructed a waiter to prepare warm milk and Coke for her.

While Alexander left some of the women to entertain the Lloyd Group's executives, he turned his focus back to Frey. "Ms. Frey, do you sing?"

Frey, who once had a lovely singing voice, had seen her talents diminished after three years in prison. She offered an apologetic smile to Alexander. "I'm sorry, Mr. Alexander. Please go ahead, my voice isn’t what it used to be."

Alexander sighed, shook his head, and then chuckled softly. "I didn’t realize Nathaniel was so harsh. I heard he wronged you over Abigail?"

Frey was caught off guard. She wasn’t naive, she recognized that Alexander was trying to provoke thoughts of her past relationship with Nathaniel.

She had hoped to keep her troubles with Nathaniel private. Yet, during a time of desperation, she had revealed her scars to Alexander, only for him to exploit that vulnerability.

The sudden reminder of these issues felt almost absurd.

Frey gave a faint smile, took a sip of her milk, and said, "Mr. Alexander, it’s all in the past. I’ve moved on."
